What do you think is the biggest tech fail ever!?

I see from the thumbnail that The Dragon Ball Z Scouters was a bust in real life, Dang LOL 😂

I received Blockbuster Total Access as a birthday gift. At first it was awesome. My local Blockbuster franchise honored the trade in feature. You could also use it for games as well. I liked that because I wasn't that big into playing through every game. Things dropped off when I realized that most of the movies I actually wanted to rent weren't the newest ones that stores had in bulk but older movies they didn't always carry. Once my local franchise folded I switched to Netflix. That's also when they started streaming. I haven't looked back.

“Vegeta, what does the Google glass say about how many of them we’ll sell?” “It’s under 9, 000”.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was immortalized and modded into GTA 5 as a cellphone grenade. Priceless!

Orkut was HUGE in Brazil. Nobody had myspace here

A honorable mention would be the Nokia Lumia with the Windows Phone, I had one, and while having a lot of potential and amazing cameras, the different approach for developers and all out disdain from Microsoft for it made it impossible to use

Sir Clive was just 40 years ahead of his time, his trike was a complete failure then, but if you look at most pushbikes on the road today, they are electric assist and pretty much using the same technology and I loved the ZX-Speccy and it was the only computer my family could afford for me, so I won't say a bad word about the guy.

I'm waiting for Stadia to be in there, 3 years later. God it was a faliure


Edit in 2022: I just realized I actually called this one almost spot on. In 2022 as of writing

Apples Maps had a friend of mine located smack dab in the Red River. Her home was not a houseboat and wasn’t In the Red River.

In all fairness. The first Zune was actually really good for the time. I think it was 40 or 60 gigs. At this time, it was rare to have a device that could play tv shows in your car, from a hand held device. Smart phones wernt there yet. Then the next model came out... and it was a meer 2 or 4 gigs, and had a smaller viewing scene. So yes, they had no innovation.

UGH. My dad had a Palm Pre and constantly called it an "iPhone Killer." Hated that stupid toy phone.

Eventually we all got samsung phones.:P

The Sinclair C5 thing looks really cool. They should bring it back, with an improved design and increased speed capability. It would probably do better now than back then.

I'd add the Segway to this list. When it was released it was supposed to revolutionize the way humanity traveled around. Unfortunately towns and municipalities quickly banned it from being used on public sideways and roadways. It became a novelty.

[jordanbaldridge]

I LOVED the Zune so much! It was also much more affordable in my area compared to the iPods at the time. Man, I miss mine :(

Apple Maps: They'll make you drive your car into a lake.

[angeldiaz]

11:53 the CD I may be an objective failure but the memes we got of it just don't die

[pathfinderLXXIV]

That last one seems less like a flop and more like fraud. It was like the Fyre Festival of medical equipment.

[owenwildish]

Unless I'm mistaken, the Philips CDi console was quite well known... or rather infamous amongst fans of Nintendo's Legend of Zelda games...

Remember when Blockbuster had DVD rental machines? I forget what year it was, but it was in the 00's or early 10's.
